Hi

I understand the Paradise Wheel 1967 Magstar is much better don't have reply from them yet, web site says customs order, could be a while to get them and $450.00 each x 2 = $900.00. I wanted opinion if I order the legendary Magstars yes they are aluminum but could get 4 for $800.00 and would all look same, thoughts?

Hi Everyone, appreciate feedback on rad cap overflow

Motor and water pump new did test for bubbles and head gasket anyway, was OK, I took the easiest route first, lowered the fluid level more than usual, to barely above fins, also put a small overflow container on end hose off rad cap if it pukes would catch it and then maybe suck fluid back in when cool, switched higher pressure rad cap, added water wetter and so far seems OK, car runs cool

Thank you
Steve

Hello Hope all are well

Having trouble with rad cap overflow at high 4,000 rpm or higher revs on highway even for short spurt, changed stock cap from 12 lb to 18 lb now have 25 lb, still so much water pressure cap releases and rad fluid blows out drain hose near bottom of car but makes a mess. Ideas?

Thank you
Steve

Amazing same home town as Bill, He purchased the car in the spring of 1967 through Cady & Pier dealership in Sandpoint, Idaho.  He drove on street 67 raced the 428 in 68 then, yes He put a 427 in car and drag raced it and ran pretty well. Do you know Bill now?

No, I am from Spokane, where McCollum Ford, the authorized dealer that sent #344 to Cady & Pier. I now live on the other side of the state.

But I was just in Sandpoint last weekend as I am looking to relocate to the area. Is Bill still around?

Hi 2112 sorry for delay yes Bill is still around  now we met many years ago and he got to drive his car again after over 30 years

Hi

I'm looking for 2 used 15 x 7 inch Magstars for 67 Shelby, could buy 2 new one's, but car has marked up used rims already, so even old aftermarket is appreciated, don't have to be original.

Thank you
